Ohio Valley Banc Corp. (OVBC) has extended the expiration date of its existing share repurchase program by one year to August 31, 2027. The program, originally approved in 2021 and previously set to expire August 31, 2026, authorizes the repurchase of up to $5,000,000 of outstanding common stock. As of August 18, 2026, the company had repurchased approximately $2,967,000 in common shares under this authorization, leaving capacity for additional repurchases. Other than the new expiration date, all terms of the stock buyback program remain unchanged, and the Board of Directors may terminate or amend the program at any time before the new expiration.
Ohio Valley Banc Corp. reported for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 that total assets rose to $1.66 billion from $1.58 billion at year-end 2025, driven mainly by loan growth to $1.25 billion and higher interest-bearing deposits with banks.
Net interest income increased to $15.4 million for the quarter and $30.3 million year‑to‑date, but a substantially higher provision for credit losses reduced profitability. Quarterly net income declined to $2.9 million (EPS $0.62) from $4.2 million, and six‑month net income fell to $7.2 million (EPS $1.53) from $8.6 million.
The allowance for credit losses on loans increased to $16.6 million from $11.5 million, reflecting higher modeled and specific reserves, including collateral‑dependent credits. Deposits expanded to $1.41 billion, shareholders’ equity improved to $173.4 million, and the company paid $0.48 per share in dividends year‑to‑date while recognizing a $377 gain on Visa equity securities.

Ohio Valley Banc Corp. reported consolidated net income for Q2 2026 of $2,927,000, a decrease of $1,283,000, or 30.5%, from the prior-year quarter, with EPS of $0.62 versus $0.89. For the first six months of 2026, net income was $7,224,000, down $1,392,000, or 16.2%, and EPS was $1.53 versus $1.83 in 2025. Return on average assets and equity were 0.89% and 8.48%, below prior-year levels.
Net interest income rose on higher average earning assets, especially targeted commercial loans, but the net interest margin narrowed to 3.93% in Q2 2026 from 4.17% as funding costs increased faster than asset yields. Provision for credit losses increased sharply to $3,755,000 for the quarter and $5,377,000 year-to-date, mainly from higher specific allocations on two collateral-dependent commercial loans and reserves tied to loan growth.
Credit metrics reflected this stress: nonperforming loans were 1.44% of total loans at June 30, 2026, versus 0.45% a year earlier, while the allowance for credit losses rose to 1.33% of total loans. Total assets reached $1.661 billion, up $79 million, or 5.0%, from year-end 2025, driven by growth in loans, balances at the Federal Reserve, and deposits.
Ohio Valley Banc Corp. reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $4.3 million, slightly below $4.4 million a year earlier, as higher credit costs offset solid core banking growth. Earnings per share were $0.91 versus $0.94.
Total assets increased to $1.68 billion from $1.58 billion at year-end 2025, driven by loan growth to $1.21 billion and deposits rising to $1.42 billion. Net interest income improved to $14.9 million, but the provision for credit losses rose to $1.6 million. Unrealized losses on the securities portfolio reduced other comprehensive income, bringing total comprehensive income to $2.1 million. The company paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.23 per share and ended the period with $171.3 million in shareholders’ equity.
